“Behold the Man!” — John 19:5
If there be one place where our Lord Jesus most fully becomes the joy and comfort of His people, it is where He plunged deepest into the depths of woe. Come hither, gracious souls, and behold the Man in the garden of Gethsemane; behold His heart so brimming with love that He cannot hold it in — so full of sorrow that it must find a vent. Behold the bloody sweat as it distils from every pore of His body, and falls upon the ground. Behold the Man as they drive the nails into His hands and feet. Look up, repenting sinners, and see the sorrowful image of your suffering Lord. Mark Him, as the ruby drops stand on the thorn-crown, and adorn with priceless gems the diadem of the King of Misery. Behold the…
Man when all
His bones are out of joint, and He is poured out like water and brought
into the dust of death; God hath forsaken Him, and hell compasseth Him
about. Behold and see, was there ever sorrow like unto His sorrow that is
done unto Him? All ye that pass by draw near and look upon this
spectacle of grief, unique, unparalleled, a wonder to men and angels, a
prodigy unmatched. Behold the Emperor of Woe who had no equal or rival
in His agonies! Gaze upon Him, ye mourners, for if there be not
consolation in a crucified Christ there is no joy in earth or heaven. If in the
ransom price of His blood there be not hope, ye harps of heaven, there is
no joy in you, and the right hand of God shall know no pleasures for
evermore. We have only to sit more continually at the cross foot to be less
troubled with our doubts and woes. We have but to see His sorrows, and
our sorrows we shall be ashamed to mention; we have but to gaze into His
wounds and heal our own. If we would live aright it must be by the
contemplation of His death; if we would rise to dignity, it must be by
considering His humiliation and His sorrow.
